The second rod is a multi purpose rod that can be used for t-rigs, lighter jigs, spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, bladed jigs, etc... How does one buy 2 rods and not know what to do with them? I never understand these questions. Tie some baits on and see what works. Quote

That’s what I thought and just wasn’t for sure the best use for the 7/6 It's rated up to 1 1/4 oz so you can definitely go heavier than 3/8. I don't know how heavy you normally pitch but I would imagine you would be fine up to 3/4 oz weight or so, maybe more. You will just have to try it out to find the upper limit of the rod. When the rod starts flexing a lot just to move the weight, you've gone too heavy. Quote
LionHeart Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 How is the med heavy rated to 1 1/4 and the heavy tops out at 3/4? Quote

Super User Jrob78 Posted March 31, 2019 Super User Posted March 31, 2019 The longer rod is a flipping rod and the other is probably a mag bass, they are rated differently. Quote
